"Never Can Say Goodbye"

(As recorded by Jackson 5)
CLIFTON DAVIS

(Woo hoo, woo hoo, hoo)

Never can stay goodbye, no no no no I
Never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and tried to hide my feelings, they always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me and I always have to say no
Tell me why, is it so?

That I never can say goodbye, no no no no I
Never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough, I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration-a piercing me right through the core
It says "turn around you fool, you know you love her more and more"
Tell me why, is it so?
Don't want to let you go

I never can say goodbye girl, ooh ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no, ooh, oh
I never can say-a goodbye girl, ooh ooh, ooh
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no, ooh

Never can say goodbye, no no no no no no no I
Never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin', a-there's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's the same ol' dizzy hang up, can't do with you or without
Tell me why, is it so?
Don't want to let you go

I never can say goodbye girl, ooh ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no, ooh, oh
I never can-a say-a goodbye girl, ooh, oh
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no no no no, ooh, oh girl
I never can say goodbye girl, ooh baby,
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no no
I never can say goodbye girl.
